DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as cardboard to test your spray pattern and become familiar with
the speed settings flow control features of the sprayer.
Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and grease.
Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
• Always spray from a minimum of 1 inch (25mm) to a maximum of 14 inches (355mm) (figure I). Optimal is usually
around 10 inches or use a paint stir stick as a reference.
• A commonly used method for spraying a large surface is the “crisscross” pattern. This is done by spraying in
horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips.
To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the same distance (figure I) from the surface you are
spraying and avoid moving your wrist (figure I1).
